ATLANTA - The Atlanta Falcons are working virtually on Thanksgiving after two non-coaching members of the staff tested positive for COVID-19.
The Falcons called off practice Thursday and halted all activities at their training center in suburban Flowery Branch, marking the third time this season the team has taken such a step. Positive tests forced the team to work virtually before an Oct. 18 game at Minnesota and a Nov. 8 game against Denver.
Last week, the team placed receiver Laquon Treadwell on its reserve/COVID-19 list - just days after the Falcons previously put starting defensive end Dante Fowler on the same list.
The team is conducting contact tracing under the NFL’s coronavirus protocols.
